History of Stanford Law School Stanford began offering a curriculum in legal studies in 1893, when the university engaged its first two law professors. One was Benjamin Harrison, former President of the United States, who delivered a landmark series of lectures on the Constitution. The other was Nathan Abbott, who served as head of the nascent law program. Abbott assembled a small faculty to which he imparted a standard of rigor and excellence that endures to this day. In his honor, the student with the highest academic standing in each year’s graduating class is designated the Nathan Abbott Scholar...

This is an issue which has shocked me since I have been here. I see homeless people in each city that I have visited. They don’t have homes to live in. They always walk outside. I am thinking how they can fulfill the daily needs as we do. Things like taking shower, eating, drinking and etc. to see such homeless people wandering in the streets is really strange for the people who come from third world countries with a very different perspective about the US and its citizens. People believe that America is the land of dreams and all the people living here are in a utopia. They are rich and have loads of money to live luxuriously, but the reality is so different. I have been visiting San Francisco City and have found lots of homeless people begging for money in the streets and on the roads.

It was a great time which I had with my friends, Sultani Saheb and other Fulbright Scholars. I thank Sultani Saheb for taking us there. We had fun at that wonderful and great day. Sultani Saheb drove us to one of the nicest and most beautiful mountains covered by trees like a forest. It has great views, in one side surrounded by a big and hushed ocean. Other sides of this mountain are connected with other mountains. This is a Historic Place since Japanese had tried to take over San Francisco from this direction at the time they had occupied Hawaii. If you go to there you can still find some military posts which were used during the war. I took this picture at the top of a Military Post on the mountain. We had a pleasurable time all together that day.
